Hey guys! I am currently looking into purchasing a new gaming pc and want it get the right monitor to go along with it! I want to get a 144hz monitor but don't know if it is worth sacrificing the good colors and money. I am planning on playing Battlefield's. assassins creeds, and gta 4 and 5 modded, So what would be a good monitor to get with good colors, 1-2 ms response time and a decent hz. Please help! Thanks!

Don't bother, unless you are a pro gamer where the extra frames matter getting an IPS panel is almost always better than a 144hz TN panel monitor and most people would agree on that. Honestly just get a nice IPS monitor and save a few quid also on them games you listed it would be better to have a nice IPS monitor with nice colours and better quality than extra frames. Just find an IPS monitor with good reviews and a relatively low response time and you'll be golden.

Or the more updated version, XL2420Z, or the cheaper version XL2411Z without the fancy controls
